Can You Handle the Truth?

New Here? Welcome! Dear Wendy is a relationship advice blog. You can read about me here, peruse the archives here and read popular posts here. You can also follow along on Facebook and Instagram. If you have a relationship/dating question I can help answer, you can send me your letters at [email protected] (be sure to read these guidelines first). Thanks for visiting!

The first four words I saw were “dependent,” “naive,” “kind” and “outgoing.” Eh.

HA! At first I thought patient had to be wrong for me, but then I thought about it, and I can actually be really patient at times/certain situations. I think all those years of working retail in college taught me that!

I saw the letters for patient too, but my mind also saw the IM at the front. I am definitely IMpatient.
The second word I saw was elegant though. If any actually elegant person saw how I show up for work with damp hair and no makeup, they would be horrified.

Dependent on what? My vanilla tea? My hairdresser? My paycheck? I don’t have a boyfriend to be overly dependent on! And as for patient…that’s wayyyy wrong. Passionate and witty are pretty close, though.

Sweet, outspoken, charismatic, and peaceful. Well….I can be sweet. I’m only outspoken if the situation calls for it otherwise I am more reserved because I just want everyone to be peaceful! I don’t think I fall into the charismatic category.

1. Secure – I don’t think I’m truly THAT secure, but I am more secure than I was in the past.
2. Thoughtful – If they mean pedantic, I can see it
3. Eloquent – I think some people may disagree with that one, I know there are moments that I disagree with it.
4. Restless – I hope to always be restless in my pursuit for happiness, so I fully agree!

Ha ha! Lethal. I can be, considering my history, and many other factors. I’m certainly lethal to zombies, bugs, stray rodents that I catch, and injured birds that I know aren’t going to be rehabilitated. Also to any animal I decide I want in my freezer. And to anyone who happens to break into my home (but they’re idiots, and really, isn’t it just “semi-natural selection”?).

Passionate? About certain things, I suppose I am.
Secure? *wiggles around a bit* I suppose I’m pretty sturdy in the physical sense. But otherwise, I’m not sure. I’ll have to ponder a bit.
Eloquent? Well, I can pontificate, elaborate and elucidate on quite a number of subjects, quite loquaciously – so I suppose that does fit.

I still think the whole thing is a “flim flam”. You see what you WANT to see more often than not.

Insecure, witty, sweet, and talented. That’s pretty much right. If “socially awkward” was there it would have been prefect considering I apologize to book cases when I walk into them, and turn a special shade of “Meg Red” when I talk to unfamiliar people. Or to guys….any guy…even the FedEx guy

I counted 41 descriptive words total. 30 were typically seen as positive traits, 14 typically seen as negative (with 3 that could be either/or depending on preference). That means you had a 73% chance or seeing a positive trait and 34% chance of seeing a negative one (not counting words that stick out easier than others, which in this case would be shorter words or letter-order that sticks out more than others). Reading horizontally, 70% of the words appeared (29). Of those, 20 were positive and 12 negative (69% chance of reading a positive vs 41% a negative). If you were scanning vertically, only about 28% of the words appeared (12). Of those, a majority were positive (10), which meant you had a 83% chance of reading a positive word (vs a 16% chance of negative, since there were only 2 of them).

A majority of the words were 8 character long, with half of them being negative and half being positive (12 total, 6 of each). The longest words were all positive (2 that were 13 characters) and the shortest words (3 that were 3 letters) were split (one negative, one positive, one that should be both). Here are the words and their perceived association:
